Neville Neville appears in court over allegations of sexual assault

The father of Gary and Phil Neville has appeared in Bury Magistrates' Court today for a hearing regarding a charge of alleged sexual assault.

Neville Neville only spoke to confirm his name, address and date of birth in the two-minute hearing before District Judge James Prowse transferred the case to Bolton Crown Court.

Neville's solicitor Simon McKay told Sky News after the hearing: "He denies the allegation fully. Beyond this, because the matter is proceeding to trial, there can be no further comment."

Neville has been accused of sexually assaulting a 46-year-old woman on March 23.
